Keeping children safe at transport hubs
By intervening early on a child’s journey to the streets, we can reach them quickly, get them to safety and prevent exposure to further harm. We do this through our Child Support Desks in collaboration with Social Welfare Officers, providing a safe space for children arriving alone in cities.
Working together with the transport industry, government, police and people working in and around bus terminals, we create environments that are hostile to those looking to abuse and exploit children. We also raise awareness of the experiences of street-connected children and how to respond so that everyone can play their part in keeping them safe.
Street outreach and intervention
Day and night, our outreach workers go out to identify, engage and protect vulnerable children and young people on the streets and provide them with urgent support, including emergency shelter and access to medical care. Once the children are in a safe setting, we support them to reunite with their families or within alternative family-based care, so they can start to rebuild their futures.
